Help please.[/quote]

Is he a junior or senior? What is his likely major? Geographic limitations? Urban, rural? Is he interested in football & frats or is he a quirky or nerdy type? We need more info.[/quote]

Thank you, this is helpful.  We will look into those.

Senior.  He had been focused on big schools but visited his cousin at Williams and loved it.  Suddenly he is scrambling to look at SLACs.

Likely a history or philosophy major.  He likes cold weather.  Dislikes football and frat culture.  A bit geeky, loves politics.  Ok with rural or urban but not a big city person.

Thanks![/quote]

If he is liberterian or 'conservative' in his view, Claremont McKenna would be an excellent fit. Has a great pipeline into good jobs on the hill and in government back in DC.

Swarthmore & Haverford (no football, geeky, suburban, good history/phil departments).

NESCAC schools are going to be all more 'bro' than the three I just mentioned. [/quote][/quote]
